The New Yard Pattern Book for Florida’s Sustainable Single Family Homes
Follow the link above to learn more about Florida’s amazing natural ecosystems and how you can help protect them in your own back yard. The way in which we manage our yards plays a vital role in the health of Florida’s ecosystems, from the species we plant, our choice of fertilizer, to our irrigation practices. We have the opportunity to support local wildlife and minimize the harmful impacts of these practices on the environment. Through the use of sustainable landscaping practices, homeowners can help lessen the stresses facing our local ecosystems, including habitat fragmentation, pollution, invasive species, and water overuse.
The New Yard Pattern Book (Second Edition) for Florida’s Sustainable Single Family Homes was produced by Dix.Hite + Partners for the Outside Sustainable Landscape Collaborative in 2023. This project was funded with the help of the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida via proceeds from the Protect Florida Springs License Plate Fund.
